Oh right, its just i always thought it was the x number of millions that was the most important. Now, i know - thank you.

Pad, Jonathan - if your out there is it possible to reply to my PM's when you have time. I'm not trying to offend anyone, or start a fight - make some ill judged comments and i'm seen as scun (ref to posts made at Metropol).

As for tonights Corrie, the Mum of Holly seems a good actress, any plans to bring her in permenant? Also has Sue Cleaver won any awards for her acting, in my opinion she is really good, delivers conviction for the character.

What was the name of the actress who played the next-door neighbour of Jerry's ex-wife? I've seen on other things before; Phoenix Nights and Warburton ads... I missed the end credits d'oh Embarassed


Yes, I've definately seen her in Phoenix Nights I'm sure - she's featured in that outtake when Brian's on his date in the chinese restaurant. "they're just people floating past!"

I've given them a few episodes to settle in, but I really dislike Sinbad's lot - I just DON'T CARE, DON'T CARE, DON'T CARE. With the silly scams they're always playing it's like Mo's clan in EastEnders... or like an old episode of Brookie...

A boring, annoying and unnecessary clutter of characters that Corrie could well do without.

Yeah, its almost as if they've shunted scenes that would normally feature the likes of Roy and Hayley, Jack and Vera etc for Sinbad's family.

Does anyone know how Vera, is it Liz Dawn who plays her is doing? I read somewhere she had incurable lung disease a while back, i admire her for carrying on the best she can.

I was only thinking about Liz Dawn the other day - she hasnt been on screen for ages.

I agree about the new family - I really cant take to them. Corrie was better off without them.

The Slaters were the comparison I was making too - especially with the couple of older sisters who both seem rather pointless.

The younger kids aren't too bad - at least they seem to have a point - but Sinbad will just always be Sinbad!

Correct me if im wrong, but Tony Jordan said on "Sex Lies and Soaps" that he got loads of letters about people complaining about the Slaters, how they didnt fit in, but they ended up growing on people.

As for the Mortons, i hope Daryl is not going to become a clone of David.

I suspect that he will. He already talks exactly like him.

This family just aren't interesting me at all. Absolutely pointless. And Kayleigh has been getting far too much screentime for a character that is played by a less than average actress.

They were one of the reasons I stopped watching.
